Video

I usually print mine out, and then i use carbon paper to trace the image or letters onto the wood. Then, trace with the palm router. Excellent video.

I've done a couple searches, but can't find that acrylic router base your're using. Only thing I've seen are the grey (metal) one and the black one. Got a link?

Great video

Do I need to install a driver for the machine to work? I just got the machine and am having a heck of a time trying to make it work. I have downloaded drivers, but I can't seem to open them. I am using a MacBook does this make a difference? how do I figure the port? Waiting for the good news.

Looks like you forgot to put the P in grandpas

Nice work! Did I miss it? What kind of bit did you use?

wht kind of route would you recommend

I know it's stupid but... Can you try hand made sharpen v bit using nail will it engrave at some level 😅

What happen when we use straight bit that comes with hand router is there option for this bit?

Can you provide your g code of this machine so that I can test my similar machine?

What router bit do you use?

What router bit are you using please.

Do you seell this machine?

Show the back of the welder dummy !

I love soft close slldes

Looks good. However, in my world a router is not "hand making".

It looks really slick on high speed.

Great video

Was it supposed to say “grandpas” or “grandad’s” it says Grandas.

As I see in the video, your spindle rotates counterclockwise. This means that the drill will not cut, but will slide and heat up. For a feather bit, this is not so important if the sharpening is symmetrical. But screw drills must enter the material according to their sharpening - clockwise. I hope in the 2 years that have passed since the publication of this video, you have already figured out why your drills are breaking at the default speed and have changed the rotation of your spindle in the opposite direction.

Great videos . I am no carpenter of even DIY'er but have recently started to take an interest and accumulated a some tools and began tinkering about with craft type projects . A lot has been sort of instinctive but naive and not the best way of doing things . Videis like yours really help join the dots .

if I send you a design you will be able to make it out of wood ?

Can I ask what sander you use please? Thanks Oz

Thanks, good tutorial, not tried Easel before. I measured the RPM of my stock 3018 with a tachometer and it only goes to 7L RPM, a few others have done this also so i think that's probably the real max speed for the stock motor.

I noticed that there is a letter missing?

Lovely video. Having made some signs and varnished them (3 or 4 coats) I have been dimayed to see rhem spoil a year or so down the line (fungus/mold) I now coat with wood preserver (2 coats) then varnish as usual. Front door sign as new 3 years down the road (wet UK weather).😊

Omg....best video 🖕

With those 20 degree bits, what would you recommend for plunge depth in pine wood? I’ve had success with.4 mm but at .7 I was skipping steps

Hey, are there router blade that could handle cutting all the way through some thicker hardwoods? Or would I need a scroll saw/ban saw?

I should treat yourself to some anti slip matting

Thank you for giving us details on how to a nice project

what bit did you use in your router?

you forgot the d in grandads

Which windows version is installed in your laptop? And.. can yo tell me your laptop info?

Granda's. Is that an American word?

I've been looking at quite a few of this type of routing video over the last months and I think that's the first I've seen with a straight bit rather than some kind of pointed/angled bit, so that it gives vertical sides and a flat base to the cut. Looks good to me - I'll try it when I eventually get around to digging the router out & finding a suitable chunk of wood.

hi Chris , Darryl here , I just got my 3020 pro max cnc , loading software is hell. how did you switch to easel from candle or I'm missing some thing . plz help .

Thanks Chris appreciate the honesty shows us beginners just what’s possible.

You are gifted. Thank you!

What router bit did you use? Also, what paint?. It looks thicker than the spray paint I normally see folks use in these videos..

As other people have said, that's a great outcome. But does anyone else think the same as me? A hand-made sign ... using a router???

Does that router have a heal pivot because when i try to move positions, or switch on and off it kicks.

Very nice

I use a different technique by printing the image in reverse onto a sheet of paper, lay it onto my timber face down & rub the back with thinners, it transfers the ink onto your workpiece.

your router sounds a little bit like a dentist drill

What bit do you use

Hand carver myself. Just say no to CNC’s!!

Very nice technique and sign! Thanks for posting. I would love to make something like that, but I would find it very difficult to follow the lines using this technique. Apart from anything else I am not able to see the bit clearly enough on either of my routers - a palm router and a plunge router - to be able to follow it around the template. Even then my lines would be all over the place. I suppose the only option would be to make or buy a plastic or plywood template?

Does sanding the other piece of wood help?

Useless without all the missing information such as where to get the stencils and what router bits you used, etc, etc,
